Can Reissue Campaign Launched

Two box sets in the works

On November 15, Spoon Records and Mute will reissue and deluxe-ify Can's landmark LP, Tago Magoin honor of the album's 40th anniversary. The new edition will include a bonus CD of newly remastered live tracks recorded in 1972, and will come packaged in the original artwork from the album's UK release.

Above, check "Bring Me Coffee or Tea", a Tago Mago cut that was also included in the soundtrack to the film adaptation of Haruki Murakami's 1987 novel Norwegian Wood.

The Tago Mago reissue is just the beginning of a extensive Can campaign that will stretch into 2012. Thirteen other studio albums will join Tago Mago as part of a massive remastered LP/CD box set to be released early next year. The box set will also contain a previously unreleased live album.

And in March 2012, Can will also release The Lost Tapes, a box set curated by the band's Irmin Schmidt and Mute founder Daniel Miller, and edited and compiled by Jono Podmore. It will feature "unreleased studio, soundtrack and live material," according to a press release.
